  Vehicle ad-hoc networks are examples of mobile ad-hoc networks where vehicles are the mobile nodes. Inthese networks, vehicles are interconnected and can send messages to each other, but also to the roadsideinfrastructure. In such networks, routing is essential for network design. Poor design causes seriousproblems for vehicle networks. Multi-hop data transmission over VANET networks is a complex task,since network nodes are very mobile and therefore very likely to be disconnected. Therefore, informationdissemination techniques in car networks are very important and have received special attention in recent years. In this research, we present a distributed routing protocol with end-to-end delay computation approach to the generated paths before sending the data packet. This protocol creates a stable backbone on the road components and connects them through bridge nodes. Bridge nodes allocate weight to road components, which it does on the basis of information gathered from delays in routes and communication quality. The simulation results show the success of the proposed protocol compared to two well-known vehicle network protocols including AODV and AOMDV. Manuscript profile
